Ticky-Tacky

Base jumped from the highest distance
Living every moment just for this instance
Gaze at the leader but not his lackey
We're only made of wood glue and ticky-tacky

In the journey of living 'til death
Spoken until we're exhaling dry breath
We pursue that which would make us happy
So that we end up as something less ticky-tacky

Don't fall upon senseless judgment, be my guest.
Waiting 'til tomorrow dressed in Sunday best.
Breathe... and new life comes from then.
See... and we'll sing together once again.

Back then I taught the guilty but true
Today I sit in class right beside you
Lessons of life are growing ever wacky
As we dust off old photos of ticky-tacky

Ticky-tacky, tacky-ticky
Even if life is sometimes tricky
Forget the right once, and remember the wrong
Ticky-tacky itself doesn't last all that long
